40 Days Personal Revolution

  • Day 8

    Today I fell back asleep for an hour and took a shower and haven’t yet made time to meditate or eat breakfast, and my workday is already started and I feel a lot scattered. I think I may take a pause and reset, at least on meditation and breakfast. Will report more later. Really happy…

  • Day 7

    Oh what a night…. storms came in the middle of the night sending the dog into a tizzy. I was able to get back to sleep about 2am, then boinked awake with free-floating anxiety about 5am. TOO EARLY. So I did my trick of Om Mani Padme Hum 108 times using my fingers instead of…

  • Day 6

    Today started off with a good night’s sleep but wide awake at 5am. Finally managed to get myself back to sleep til 6. Now I’ve showered, brushed teeth and checked in online. 6:30 and I’m ready to start with meditation and maybe yoga or journaling….today is a better day! I did my mantra meditation, and…

  • Day 5

    Today is the first day of full-time with JHU. I have a work scheduled of 8:30-5 with 1 hour lunch break. I haven’t really worked someone else’s schedule in a LOOOOONG time with the exception of the 2.5 years I was teaching in a school. Yikes. I’m a little anxious about that. So, I’ve got…

  • Day 4

  • Day 3

    Today is Sunday, when I let myself start a little more slowly. After some kitchen work I sat down and did the Baron Baptiste Week 1 Presence guided meditation, for the proscribed 5 minutes. I’ve been doing my mantra mala meditation most days for months now, so this felt a little brief, but I did…

  • Day 2

    Today I didn’t really do any journaling, but I did attend a 1.75 hour yin/nidra yoga class with Tymi, and attended the daily 9:05am Warrior One meditation on Zoom. Been feeling a little under the weather thanks to pollen and not sleeping that great, so I’ll give myself a pass on the journaling. We did…

  • Day 1

    Our first weekly group meeting, via Zoom (thank you Covid19) was on a Friday night, and I joined almost 50 others to start this journey. I had completed the 40 days in January-Feb. this year, but the re-boot felt like a good idea. Each week has a theme and some truths: WEEK 1: PRESENCE Seek…
